We wanted to provide you with an update on our Whiddon Grafton care home. This week, we have had four residents test positive to COVID-19 and we activated our COVID-19 outbreak management plan to ensure all precautionary measures are in place. As per the advice of the local Public Health Unit, we are conducting regular COVID-19 testing of residents as a precaution.
For now, visitation remain restricted to one visitor per resident at this time (for compassionate or essential visits only). These visits must be pre-booked.
All visitors are required to undertake rapid antigen testing as a condition of entry to Whiddon Grafton and will be asked to wear an N95 mask and face shield, which will be provided upon entry to the home.
We continue to work closely with the local Public Health Unit and are following their advice.
We want to thank you for your understanding and patience during this time, and we will provide a further update early next week.
